I have the original Packleader Prototype

by Phil Truran

Hi Guys
I stumbled across this site by pure accident. I have been looking for ages to see if there are more owners.What a lucky find!Bit like the guitar really!
I came across my Packleader in a Birmingham music store, no longer there now and had no idea what it was at the time. Just loved the build quality and the way it played. Bought it on the spot and then went into see John Diggins of JD Guitars in Moseley, Birmingham. He recognised it straight away and as he'd done a lot of work on a number of these for Roger Bucknell, John was very well up on the history, needless to say. He told me that mine was the prototype with some unique differences from the production versions.
